AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Review

The AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is an 8-core, 8-thread ultraportable processor built on Zen 2, running a 2.0 GHz base clock that boosts to 4.1 GHz within a 15 Watt TDP.

Unlike the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 4800U, the 4700U drops SMT entirely despite carrying the full 8-core count, an unusual configuration that trades multi-threaded ceiling for a lower price at the same physical core count.

AMD Radeon RX Vega 7

A 7-compute-unit Vega iGPU, adequate for everyday productivity and light gaming at reduced settings.

How Is the Ryzen 7 4700U in Terms of Performance

The lack of SMT despite the full 8-core count is the defining characteristic here: real multi-threaded work will trail the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U despite sharing the same core count, though single-threaded performance remains strong thanks to the same Zen 2 core design.

Benchmarks

Cinebench R23 multi-core scores of 7,398 and single-core scores of 1,222 reflect strong performance for an 8-core ultraportable chip, though multi-core scores trail the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U's comparable figures given the missing SMT.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Best for

Ultraportable laptops wanting 8 physical cores at a lower price point than the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U

Not for

Buyers specifically wanting maximum multi-threaded ceiling, the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U handles that better despite the same core count
